Ya, it is non partisan. If highly qualified Republicans don't apply, who are thin on the ground in NYC, and even thinner for those judicial positions (how many Repubican lawyers in NYC want to be family law judges, the ultimate in self inflicted relatively lowly paid professional agony?), then the advisory committee does not recommend them, and they don't get appointed. Simple really.
God, you really have no idea how stupid you sound, do you?
"Rudy is a shill for the globo-corporate media drive to assure that Hillary is elected."
You are mistaken. McCain was that candidate. The MSM is deeply disappointed at Rudy's meteoric rise and McCain's sinking.
and Mark Levin who worked in the Justice Dept under Reagan is not supporting Rudy
"And what's important to me is to have a very intelligent, very honest, very good lawyer on the court. And he fits that category, in the same way Justice Ginsburg fit that category."
Yes, Rudy said Ginsburg was very intelligent, very honest, and a very good lawyer. He did not say that he agreed with her judicial philosophy. Rudy has said he supports strict constructionist like Roberts and Scalia. Ted Olsen has said Rudy does as well. Ted Olsen is no liar.
"The race will be Cheney v Gore."
You are being sarcastic, right?
In late September, Hunter was the guest of honor at a black-tie dinner in a hall at Washington's Union Station, where the hawkish defense group the Center for Security Policy presented him with its annual "Keeper of the Flame" award.
Among those lauding him at the Center for Security Policy banquet that evening was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said the Pentagon relies on Hunter's "wisdom, his leadership, his experience and his 'get it done' attitude.'
"It is something when he comes into your office like a whirling dervish and starts discussing a subject first at the national level and then down at the microlevel, and then leaves you pieces of metal on your desk that you can hardly lift and has explained exactly where it goes, what it's for, why it should be there and then wants to know why it isn't. And God bless him for it."
Rumsfeld also said the U.S. is more secure because of Hunter.
"He's never let the troops down, and as a result of his leadership and his hard work, our nation is a safer place today," Rumsfeld told the dinner gathering that included Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Oh hell no. Why would you unless you believed in him?
So you're making yourself out to be a fool.
I'm sorry for you.
Bush is easily more loyal to his principles than you are.
McLame bombed, so Rudy's their new shill. He'll make certain enough conservatives stay home that Hillary will win by default.
Any claim that Rudy would nominate Constitutional constructionist judges is belied by his antipathy for the Second Amendment, so don't go there.
This wipe has already been posted.
Hillary stands no chance. Her own party is more than 50% against her. She would lose worse than sKerry, so they won't let her run. David Geffen is investing a few millions of his personal stash to stop her.
We don't need to consider losers like Rudy or Romney; We can go for a real candidate that we don't need to hold our nose to vote for.
Uh, no. Gore is gonna win in Hollyweird, big time. He BEAT BUSH. Ask any dimocrat. He IS the great white hope. Cheny can unite the party like no one else. He wins the GOP if he wants it.
God, you really have no idea how stupid you sound, do you?
Actually no. I like insulting Bush bashers. And I like reading my quotes reposted by bozos like you.

Your excellent point deserves highlighting and repeating. You hit the nail on the head. Literally the faith of the Western Civilization is in the balance.
so the placement in the MSM polls of Hunter
can also be not factual.
You can't have it both ways.
I can't wait for your reaction when Giuliani fails to win the GOP nomination. Will it be a minor or full-fledged meltdown?
Really? My God, you're delusional. Point me to his major conservative stances that he's implemented, all two of them. Add to that the the man is embarrassing as hell to listen to when he speaks and wow, you have yourself a Republican hat trick.
